Well where do I start? We have settled right into London life and have fit a lot in over the last month and a bit. So because I have been so slack I will do my best to revise what has happened and hopefully not leave anything out. To start with we both spent a lot of March pretty crook. I caught a cold at the start of March and took 2 weeks to get over it. Just as I was better Jac caught a cold from one of her schools and unfortuantaley I copped that too. Nearly...

We have packed a fair bit into our last few weeks in the UK. We have been out every weekend enjoying the city, and the alcohol. We had an Egypt reunion 2 weeks ago and celebrated by throwing fireworks and rocks. Well not exactly, we hit the town for dinner and drinks.

By the same token we are so looking forward to having a place of our own, although trying to find one is a big fat pain in the butt. Tomorrow we fly back to the UK (Manchester) and ha...

The day was overcast and we had a few light showers over the next few hours. We jumped on the metro and headed into the city centre. As we stepped out into daylight my phone rang. It was our friend Jude. We spoke for half an hour which was just perfect catching up on all her news. Then it was off t...
